Does anyone know of a handyman that fixes individual glass panes for bow windows? Also, are there any glass repair shops in the area that can offer repair services onsite?

There's a great place on Springfield Avenue in Irvington. If you bring a window TO them it costs next to nothing. They also do house calls. Unfortunately, I can't think of the name. It might be Irvington Glass. |

Is the glass flat, or curved?
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic. |

I used Irvington Glass for a housecall once. Got the number from this board so you might try searching the archives. |

The glass pane is flat. I've heard of Livingston Glass. Is Irvington Glass more reasonable? I was quoted $125 for the first glass piece (including installation - glazing putty) and $50 bucks for each additional glass pane. Seems a bit expensive..but not sure. |

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Irvington Glass is cheaper than Livingston Glass. |

Chris,
It's actually not that hard to replace yourself and doesn't take that much time to do. I do it all the time and costs about $25 including supplies. The glass itself costs about $3/pane for a 5x6ish pane. And I bought that glass from Livingston Glass!
The only problem is if it's on the 2nd floor, in which case I'd wait until spring. If you want to watch me do one, private line me and we'll arrange a time. |

Has anyone replaced the wavy (distorted looking) glass that is so common in S.O./Maplewood homes? |

We have had (way too many) window panes replaced, and have used Irvington Glass several times. The most recent was replacement of the lower half of a 6-over-1 window, so the pane was fairly large. John of Irv. Glass came to the house the day I called and charged $70. (Sidenote: I'm not sure he was doing this on the books, as he wanted cash, didn't charge tax, didn't give a receipt, and told me when we need him again to be sure to call and ask for him specifically.) He did a good, fast, clean job. |
